This thread should have been made aaaages ago.
What anime/manga are you into? Or currently watching/reading?

My favorites would be:
Naruto Shippuuden
Ergo Proxy
Elfen Lied
Fate/Stay Night
Bleach
Ghost In The Shell
D.Gray Man
Zombie Loan
Full Metal Alchemist
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann


And for those who wish to make the argument....
Hottest anime chick?
For me, itd be Re-L from Ergo Proxy, Rider from Fate/Stay Night or Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

South of the border, west of the sun.
Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Tengen toppa Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop and FLCL are pretty awesome.

Bleach and Naruto are alright. Bleach was suffering from dragon ball z syndrome a while back, but it seems like they've finally finished powering up and will get to the point again. And their power levels don't have any continuity at alllll.

Still good though. I don't mind D.Gray man either.

I'm kinda not watching anime at the moment, it saddens me because I loooove it, just haven't found any time for it.

Nonetheless, I'm watching Eden to the East, Maria+Holic (lol still), Hayate season 2 + ton of stuff on my HDD that hasn't been watched since last year.

Favourites? Fate/Stay Night and Simoun remain my favourites, they kickstarted my anime addiction. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?, Evangelion and Code Trainwreck are all pretty enjoyable series. I can't wait until You Can Not Advance 2.0 :D

Kara No Kyoukai is my hands down favourite at the moment, though.

Hottest anime girls? Rin Tohsaka, Mizure from Rosario + Vampire, Kotomi from CLANNAD <3 Ciel, Arc and Akiha from the Tsukihime novel (there is no anime) also win. RYOUGI SHIKI RAWR

I love unstructured posts lol

Don't get me started on the dub of Initial D.

****ING RAGE SO HARD.

I have the first Three dubed boxsets, which takes you up to the end of Stage 2, and I had to go back and watch them in Japanese subs just so I would become less ********.

Watching it in English makes you ********, thats how bad it is.

AND THEY TOOK AWAY THE EUROBEAT. THE ****.

Although I love ID, so much. I didn't put it on my list because half the people I know don't like it, and I can understand why. It's a series you really need to love to watch.

God, theres so much I have to watch lol.

Subs over dubs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got another wallscroll from my friend eBay the other day, and I was wondering, do you guys have alot of **** in your rooms that shows you are a giant anime fan?

Or do you have nothing at all and are a closet fan?

I personally have figures everywhere lol. They're on about three or four desks of things and I'm running out of space to put more up. I've also got a couple of wallscrolls and some really rare posters hanging off my walleo's.

Will take pictures later to show you the awesome.

I have a Fate Stay Night wallscroll, a ton of Megami posters<3, a few figurines and some other paraphenalia, like Haruhi's danchou armband. I've got gashapons hanging from everything, pencilcase, phone, DS, schoolbag. Not to mention the 20~ pins on my bag.

Yeah, opposite of a closet fan. Needs pictures fo sho.

Also my shelf of my spoils from my trip to Japan should count, one of the 4 shelfs is anime-related.

How did I read your mind? lol.

Over-Rev, I've seen it. I've heard of it. But it kinda looked crap. The only reason I'd read it is if it had awesome fanservice lol. Is it good?

We were talking about dubs the other day, and the only real good one I think we thought of was Berserk.

I've heard of Pani Poni Dash, but I haven't watched it yet.

If you want crazy **** though, you should try watching Excel Saga.

Gyagu Manga Biyori or Sexy Commando Sugoi: Masaru are pretty ****ing lol aswell.
